Meet the Wedding Party: Luke Randall Jones

Here is Luke Randall Jones,

It all started my sophomore year of college, Jimmy and I were getting two new freshmen in our room we were kind of nervous for them, 204 had high standards! We all got settled in and started to get to know each other then Luke and I found that we saw things a bit different, part of it was I liked pestering him, so that first semester we were at each other like no other. After many nights of pillow talk, me perching on the edge of his bed ready to pounce, and late night McDonald's runs after face melting rock band concerts we came to love each other.
Over the years we have had our ups and downs, like he wasn't happy when I move out of the house, but our kayaking trips are always good when we can go. Oh and when we decide to change the room somewhere close to finals week and stay up most of the night, or when we change it after Luke has left because he would cry about it if he were there. He now has a motorcycle and once I get a new back tire that isn't about to unravel we can go for some fun rides.
Luke is an awesome guy and great friend. I am privileged to know him and hope he follows me where I get a job so we can still hang out.

Meet the Wedding Party: Brandin LeBlanc

Brandin LeBlanc everybody...

Brandin and I met during ropes training at Pine Cove in 2009. We became good friends pretty fast and then started doing laundry on the weekends together and hanging out having fun. Then I met Haley and neither of us had a car, which kind of made spending time together hard to coordinate but Brandin being the awesome guy that he is allowed me to use his car. This helped Haley and me out as well as made Brandin and me closer friends.
We both like to play volleyball and still haven't played together, which is a shame and needs to happen some time.
This past summer he was Castle Rock senior counselor so we didn't get to hang out quite as much but that week 1 that I had C-Rock was epic for sure!!
I love Brandin's heart for people, he is eager to help other and preach the Gospel to those who need to hear it. I am glad that we are friends and I know that hearing about what he is doing makes me want to work harder, most of the time.

Meet the Wedding Party: Allison

Introducing Allison Catherine Legg!

I have known Allison since the summer of 2007, but we did not become real friends until the next year. We lived together in the lovely CJ 6, enduring a lot of bugs and dirt and lack of sleep together. Then, we worked a cheerleading conference at Pine Cove together... and were made the Mountain Biking instructors. Take a few seconds to picture that. Or you can read about it HERE.
Then we made the most epic road trip ever, to Kansas City, for a wedding. As an ironic side note, Nick was supposed to be at that wedding, too, since it was his old roommate who was getting married. However, he did not go, which pushed our meeting back to 2009. On this road trip, I was the dad with the video camera and the directions, and Allison was the mom, since that is just her nature... :)
Since then, Al has been such a blessing in my life. I have loved talking about wedding stuff and marriage stuff and life stuff with her. She is getting married one week before us and I cannot wait to learn together with her as we explore the role of "wife" for the first time.

How do you know Haley?--Hales and I met at the Towers gauntlet summer 2007 and then worked part of second half together. We became better friends the following summer and then best of friends after our Kansas City roadtrip Christmas 2008.

What do you want to be when you grow up?--Since I was 3, I always wanted to be a doctor, nevermind the fact that I carried a baby doll with me everywhere I went

What is your favorite past halloween costume?--I remember getting to borrow a "real" princess dress and crown when I was about four or five--that was my highlight.

What is your current obsession?--Paninis!

What song do you most want to dance to at the wedding? --Cyclone, duh!

Hollywood decided to make Nick and Haley's story into a movie. Who would play them? --Amanda Bynes (She's very quirky, real, and totally cute but doesn't know it, like Hales) & Brad Pitt (He seems kind of shy and a little mysterious, much like Nick)

What should Nick and Haley name their first pet? Dixie--Haley, you can't move all the way to Missouri and not take some of Texas with ya!

What is your favorite memory involving Haley? --Easily our roadtrip to Kansas City. Hales rode shotgun most of the time and I drove the whole time. We made a video and happen to nonchalantly say, "PC '09--maybe you're out there" in reference to our dream boys...Needless to say we're both marrying guys from PC '09!

What song will always remind you of Haley/Nick?--Disney theme songs and Taylor Swift.

Meet the Wedding Party: Nathan

Today's Guest: Nathan Thomas Dowd

Nathan and I haven't known each other very long, just over a year, but for as solid as our friendship is you would think it has been much longer. Nathan is one of those friends that will do anything for you no matter what he has going on, which if you didn't know is a great kind of friend to have.

One of my good memories with Nathan was when some of us we sitting in the basement of the house just talking until like 2 am and the next day Mike, Josiah and I were going to work a conference at Pine Cove and we talked Nate into going with us. It was a great time!!

Then we got to know each other more through midnight prayer groups and decided to lead a small group together which was awesome. This was Nathan's second semester at school when he decided to move out of a house of 40 christian guys in to the dorms so that he could better evangelize to the students on campus. It was great to see God working through him in that way. Then the end of that semester he pledged Delta Sig and started ministering to the greek community also.

Nathan truly has a heart for people and he is a great friend to have.

How do you know Nick/Haley?

I met Nick in the fall of 2009 in the middle of a battle. The ruckus started amidst shouts of "One-Twelve!!!" as the members of Room 112 (including Nick) came charging into my room, Room 111, starting a never-ending war between our two neighboring rooms. It was quite the way to meet someone.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be a civil engineer that builds some of the coolest bridges ever seen all over the world!

What is your favorite past halloween costume?

Eh...I haven't been that creative in that area...sorry :/

What is your current obsession? (song, idea, food, article of clothing, etc.)

My current obsession is Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity. I absolutely love what the fraternity stands for and I love each of my fraternity brothers, especially our new pledge class that I hope to mentor and grow in God's Word with!

What song do you most want to dance to at the wedding?

Hmm....

Hollywood decided to make Nick and Haley's story into a movie. Who would play them?

Nick - The Rock....because Nick's good at everything...like The Rock

What should Nick and Haley name their first pet?

Kayakitty

What is your favorite memory involving Haley/Nick?

My favorite memory involving Nick was definitely the time we spent together leading our evangelism gel group. I know I learned a lot from Nick and I hope he had a good time too. It was great growing in our walk with Christ with him during that time.

Do you have any potentially embarrassing stories involving Haley/Nick? If so, please share.

Oh I wish...but I don't think so.

If Haley/Nick could eat one food for the rest of his/her life, what would it be?

Nick would eat steak or Papa Murphy's the rest of his life.

What song will always remind you of Haley/Nick?

"Hear Our Prayers" by The Glorious Unseen...It's a great song about the power of prayer which is definitely something I admire about Nick. He is so focused on prayer which is such a vital way to communicate with our Heavenly Father.

Apparently Nathan and I don't like to be in the same camera lens, so here are a few of him...

Meet the Wedding Party: Kaitlyn

Today's Guest: Kaitlyn Renee Posey (almost Works!)

Kaitlyn started going to Coram Deo when we were in 9th grade, and honestly, most of us were not sure what to think of her. She was extremely outgoing and sociable, whereas I don't think I spoke for my first 6 years there. She got in trouble for not wearing shoes during class. All the boys loved her and she had tons of friends.
We were in most of the same classes that year and then probably all of the same classes every year after that, give or take a few. We played softball together until she hurt her shoulder. But until eleventh grade, we weren't really friends. That is, until the first annual All-Star debate. I will just take a minute to describe this so that everyone can get a good picture of what was said to be CDA's greatest sport. Each Upper School grade voted on 5 members to be part of an "all star" team to represent the class in a debate tournament. Kaitlyn and I were both selected to be part of that team. There is a lot more I could say about this experience, but I will just end with the fact that it is responsible for the first and only time I ever cried at school.
Anyway, we ended up spending more time together, both in and out of school. By the time senior year came along, I was talking more at school and actually had friends, but I spent most of my time in Flower Mound with Kaitlyn. We led a Bible Study together, had sleepless nights baking and watching Disney movies and preparing for debates together, and spent many many days and nights at our friend Caleb's house together.
After graduation, she moved to Tyler and I moved to Waco, and it was pretty sad, but we still managed to spend a lot of time together during breaks. She is hilarious and I love her 3 minute long phone messages. I am so blessed by her friendship and I love that she is a part of my wedding.

From Kaitlyn:
How do you know Haley?
I met Haley through the fine institution of Coram Deo Academy, which means 'in the presence of God' for those unfortunate enough not to have had Latin.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I would like to be an adult when I grow up.

What is your favorite past halloween costume?
My favorite Halloween costume was a peacock! I painted my face and everything.

What is your current obsession?
My current obsession is chilled swiss oatmeal, it makes me feel healthy.

What song do you most want to dance to at the wedding?
The song I most want to dance to at my wedding, is a secret.

Hollywood decided to make Nick and Haley's story into a movie. Who would play them?
I think Jake Gyllenhall and Reese Witherspoon would play the two lovers

What should Nick and Haley name their first pet?
Nick and Haley should name their first pet 'Consummate.'

What is your favorite memory involving Haley?
My favorite memory of Haley is probably when she surprised me and took me to Phantom of the Opera, and we had a sweet photo shoot at Fair Park.

Do you have any potentially embarrassing stories involving Haley? If so, please share.
Embarrassing stories of Haley, well this isn't embarrassing but I remember some certain boys in our class used to think she was SO stuck up, haha probably because she was always quiet and gave people weird looks when they did something ridiculous.

If Haley could eat one food for the rest of her life, what would it be?
I would make Haley eat nothing but children's food like gummies and goldfish, but I would redeem myself by letting her drink coffee from Common Grounds for the rest of her life.

What song will always remind you of Haley?
I frequently think of Haley when I listen to Tay Tay Swift. Her new song makes me so happy I listed to it 34 times in a row.

All-star debating...

Junior year prom!

Whole Foods!

Powderpuff champions

Meet the Wedding Party: Hannah

So, over the next 3.5 months, we are going to feature the people in our wedding party! We sent them an interview to fill out, but we will also comment on our relationships and include pictures. We can't wait for you to meet some of our favorite people!

Today's guest: Hannah Estelle Cable!
Hannah and I have known each other for... ever. We went to the same church, we were campers together at Pine Cove, Towers through Shores, and we both went to Baylor. We have some pretty great stories together, but my favorite is probably from when we were around seven years old. Hannah was over at my house, and we were playing, of course. My dad was sick in bed, and my mom walked out of the room and told me, "Haley, Eddie's dead." Now, Eddie was my pet rabbit. I of course burst into tears and was completely distraught. Well, Hannah did not hear my mom say, "Eddie died..." She heard my mom say, "Daddy died." She was of course extremely sorry and probably felt a little awkward... I don't even know how I learned about this misunderstanding, but it makes me laugh now.

From Hannah:
How do you know Haley?
I have known Haley ever since I can remember...so like 20 years. Thats a long time.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Well, right now I am what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I'm gonna go with world traveler for now.

My costume last year! I was a punk! I will probably repeat it this year.
